I had posted to a news report from Buffalo about Social Security requiring disability claimants to attend consultative medical examinations during the Covid-19 epidemic. There is a new report out of Buffalo quoting an agency spokesperson saying that “We are not requiring applicants to appear in-person for consultative examinations during the national COVID 19 pandemic.” He went on to say that “We have instructed the DDSs [Disability Determination Services] to hold any case where the consultative exam, necessary for a disability decision, is canceled and to reschedule it once the COVID 19 pandemic subsides.”
Social Security really ought to put out a national press release on this.
